Re: Buying a racing/road bike advice needed

hey, thanks for that tip, was looking for a good women's saddle for a while, now I know what to look for!

I agree with Heather that there's nothing wrong with a triple, although me too, I've encountered some 'compact snobism' along the road.

I'm riding a (Jamis) cross-bike myself, I like it a lot. Very light, but with a slightly wider fork than a regular road-bike and slightly wider tires with thread. So more resistance, but on the other hand it allows you to go on tracks that are unaccessable for road bikes (e.g. up the Uetliberg). Apparently cross-bikes are hard to come by here in Switzerland. If you're interested in it, I would seriously consider buying one online, because prices here in Switzerland are disgustingly inflated. But then again, I have to admit, there's the advantage of the local bikeman.

Good luck and let us know what you end up buying
Thanks for all the suggestions, you given me lots to mull over.

At Veloplus in wetzikon you can sit on and test out loads of their saddles, obviously isn't like riding a 100 miles but gives you some idea, are butts are all different!
